 | | Each university administers its own entrance examinations, which cover the following subjects: language (Portuguese), humanities (history, geography, social studies), natural sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), mathematics and one foreign language. |
 | | The Doctorate degree, which is a maximum of five years in length, requires a dissertation in addition to the theoretical credit-courses and the qualifying examination. |
 | | Upon completion of an academic course of study (enrolment is done by subject, in a non-sequential system of varying duration, depending on the specialisation), university students are awarded the Bacharelado (Baccalaureate). |
